Hello folks, I'm trying to monitor the status of raid / disks using IPMI over LAN. But I got confused when different Dell servers didn't act the same way.
Test 1: Server Dell Poweredge 1950 with two drives. First command is run with two disks in slots: ipmitool -I lan -H xx.xx.xx.xx -U user -P pass -L USER sdr type "Drive Slot / Bay" Drive | 80h | ok | 26.1 | Drive Present Second run when one bay is removed: ipmitool -I lan -H xx.xx.xx.xx -U user -P pass -L USER sdr type "Drive Slot / Bay" Drive | 80h | ok | 26.1 | With this result it's possible to trigger an alert since the status changes, even though it just replies with empty result rather than some info. When doing the same test on Dell M600 Blade server with two drives, the result is quite different. Test 2: Server Dell M600 blade server with two drives. First run with both disks in slots: ipmitool -I lan -H xx.xx.xx.xx -U user -P pass -L USER sdr type "Drive Slot / Bay" Drive | 80h | ok | 26.1 | Drive Present Second run, with one drive removed: ipmitool -I lan -H xx.xx.xx.xx -U user -P pass -L USER sdr type "Drive Slot / Bay" Drive | 80h | ok | 26.1 | Drive Present Not even a change! But I can clearly see in the CMC / DRAC web interface that the server has physical errors. So in some way it gets triggered. How? Anyone got same results? How can i achieve proper results?
